Hello y'all...just poppin' in with a few questions regarding the building of an 'at-home-fun-toy' AR-15 and am bouncing back-n-forth between building a 5.56 or a 7.62 x 39 caliber pistol?
I'm really just wanting a pistol that will function in the 25-50-75-100 meter (no more) distance range...that is accurate, effective, reliable...and does not present with a multiple issues to over come.
I prefer a heavier caliber (the 7.62 x 39) for short-range (closer-in) purposes...but have heard complaints with the way a 7.62 x 39 functions in the AR platform?
My wife already has an AR-15 pistol in 5.56 with a KAK Shockwave Brace...which does make for a nice, light-weight, pistol platform...ease of use, etc.
I hope to be able to stay in the 7.5" - 10" barrel-length range...and will probably use the same KAK Shockwave Brace so as to keep the pistols similar.
Another question might be is, how well does .300 BLK perform in a short-barrel...I've been told by more than a few not to waste my time with it...but I wouldn't call any of them 'experts' by any means.
If anyone with experience with .223/5.56, .300 BLK, or 7.62 x 39...in the a shorter-barrel AR platform...who would have any suggestions...who would be willing to relate their experience...and who would comment with 'pro's' or 'con's'...either way (please keep comments 'polite')...I would be open to suggestions.
Thank you...and appreciated!
